Ben Affleck worried ‘loose cannon’ daughter Violet may spill secrets about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter, Violet Affleck, has been deemed a “loose cannon” as she isn't afraid to speak her mind.
The 19-year-old recently disclosed that she had a tense exchange with her actress mother during the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year, and it's being speculated that she may say more about her famous family, particularly the secrets of her father’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez, as reported by RadarOnline.
Affleck and Lopez, who got married in 2022, parted ways in 2024. Even though they finalized their divorce in January this year, the two are believed to be still going at each other.
Ben Affleck's daughter Violet 'doesn't hold back' when it comes to family
Though the apparent tension between the actor and the singer has not been discussed openly, he worries his eldest child might reveal it all.
A source said about Violet, as Rob Shuter wrote for his Substack, “She’s a brilliant and fearless young woman. But she’s also unpredictable. And when it comes to family, she doesn’t hold back.”
Also, as per a family friend, the 19-year-old is “testing the boundaries. And the fear is, if she’s willing to call out her mom over wildfire denial, what might she say about her father’s relationship with JLo?”
"She’s extremely close to her mom, and not always thrilled with how things went down with her dad and JLo. Violet sees everything. And now she’s finding her voice," another source added.
